I guess maybe Friday nights will be a thing

Or once again we have no plans and I don't want to be watching whatever stupid movie is on the other room. Yeah, it's probably the latter.

We got a new stained glass window for the bathroom for Christmas and here is it being installed. Once the trim work is done, I'll post a better picture of just the window because it really is pretty, but until then you can see the in-progress picture. (My father-in-law doing the install)

One of the many things that the previous owner left are these three random stars hanging from trees in the backyard They are small so I can't really figure out what purpose they served (probably none) but there aren't enough of them to be some sort of focal point. The previous owner was a single dude so it's not like his kids did it. Weird. I'll probably eventually take them down, but for now they stay up.

I always heard one photography rule is that if you see red, take a picture. The problem with that in our house is that there is red EVERYWHERE as a certain other resident will say. I've tried to cut back and not have as much out, but our kitchen is pretty much dominated by the color red. This is a close up of one of two utensil holders.

I knew for some reason that this would be a busy day and I'd forget later to take a picture so I snapped one of the fake orange flowers in my office. Well, I actually did end up taking more pictures, but I still liked this one the best so it became the POTD.

Hello, my name is Sarah and I have a bit of OCD. This is what my office drawer looks like all the time. I can't stand it when things get out of place. This was another day that I kind of felt like I needed to get one in early or risk having nothing at all.

One of the reasons that I fell madly in love with this house is the fireplace in the master. With the flip of a switch I have fire and it is great. Once I have stuff on the walls and the TV cables hidden, I'll put a non-obstructed shot. For the moment, just know that it is there and that it is glorious.

That brings us to today and the little drink that I am sipping on now called a Moscow mule. We got these fancy copper mugs for Christmas to specifically make this drink. So tonight I pulled out the ingredients and the mug and viola, yummy drink. (There are lots of versions of this drink online but these are the only three ingredients that I use and I don't measure and it always turns out fabulous.)
